Excellent tyre in any conditions. Road noise is greatly reduced compared with the Michelin Primacy tyres that came as originals with the car. The Goodyear Excellence tyres are more comfortable and have better lateral control on uneven road surfaces compared with the Michelin Primacy tyres. The Goodyear Excellent tyres has much better wet road grip than the Michelin Primacy and on the limit grip is superb. Whereas the Michelin's would squeal and lose traction on a roundabout the Goodyear Excellence tyres would carry a few more mph and still hold a tight line without making any such noise. Overall it is first class tyre and one I would highly recommend, especially for a Ford Focus which is somewhat sensitive to tyres and road noise.

Bought these November 2010 at onset of snow for use in Northumberland .
Huge difference - pulling away and through fairly deep snow they worked a treat.
Good in the rain too, with more grip pulling out at junctions etc.
Put them in the loft and fitted back on today(November 2011) . Did 4300 miles last winter and
They show no signs of wear at all. Fully recommended .

2009 I bought these to drive out to the Alps for a skiing holiday, as I understand they are a legal requirement in the area we were going to.
They were exellent. The grip in both loose and packed snow was unbelievable, but they also turned out to be much much better than ordinary Michelin Pilot's in normal British rain and damp as well. Under braking they stop Meters shorter and on corners they grip very well and broke away progressively. In the dry they are fine in normal driving but do not have the absolute grip and turn in of a high performance summer tyre. They may be a bit noisier, but not enough to be sure. However as soon as there is a shower of rain they are noticably better than "normal" tyres - and I do more driving in the wet than I do on empty dry tarmac. They do not seem to wear any faster than normal either - 10,000 miles, fronts half down and rears "as new".I think that is pretty good...
One superb incident when I left the handbrake on one morning as I drove off on packed snow. The fronts just gripped and we moved off with the (standard) rears locked. I didn't even notice until the back end started waving about as I slowed down for the first bend! Unbelievable. Highly recommended for all year round British driving.

very good in the dry grip zone, no understeer when pushed to the max torque and turns. a little bit of noise occurs in 100km/h, it's acceptable for a mid range tire.

The Eagle F1s I had on the Focus 2.0L just wore down too low for comfort when the weather was very wet, so needed some new tyres urgently. The Avon ZV5s were available along with some Pirelli & other tyres of good pedigree. Read the reviews & decided to give the Avons a go, replacing all four tyres. Really glad that I did. The wet grip is amazing - better that the Eagles, & they were pretty good when the tread was full. Dry grip seems OK too, but we haven't had a lot of dry weather of late so can't be 100% sure. These will be my tyre of choise in future.

These came with my ford focus. They had great dry grip and lasted a long time (I bought the car secondhand, so they probably did about 30'000 miles on the front, 70'000 on the rear). I replaced them with Bridgestone Turanza, which were much less grippy and were done in less that 20'000 miles.

Excellent tyres, I always felt I could trust them through corners and only once slightly lost the back end on a muddy track in Wales, not bad considering!
Suffered a little during the week or so of heavy packed snow in Winter, but no worse than anyone else around me.
Would highly recommend and buy again.

I have only had them on for a couple of weeks, so far very pleased.
So much better than the Dunlop EfficentGrip,crap in the wet, they were on the car when I bought it.
Will buy again.
